Abstract:The genetically modified food(GMF)labeling is a hot issue which involves the industrialization of GMF and purchase intentions towards it.The relationship between labeling and cognition degree of GMF is studied through methods of a combination of questionnaire survey and conventional statistical analysis,and in-depth interviews supplemented.The results show that the understanding to GMF is still relatively poor even for the sample which comes from occupational group,and the state of“the more understanding to GMF,the more slack to its labeling”is generally demonstrated from the perspective of labeling ways and attitudes;more than 90% of respondents believe that mandatory labeling or voluntary labeling is needed to GMF;the correlation between the concern of labeling cost and cognition degree of GMF is non-significant;the demands for GMF labeling from respondents are generally harsher than those from prevailing international practices.Based on such findings,a policy implication has been put forward for a transition of from qualitative to quantitative mandatory labeling,and eventually to voluntary labeling.
